Lyrics of Honey

See the tree how big it's grown
But friend it hasn't been too long it wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got mad the first day
That she planted it was just a twig

Then the first snow came and she ran out
To brush the snow away, so it wouldn't die
Came running in all excited
Slipped and almost hurt herself and i laughed till i cried
She was always young at heart
Kinda dumb and kinda smart and i loved her so

I surprised her with a puppy
Kept me up all christmas eve two years ago
And it would sure embarrass her
When i came in from working late
'cause i would know that she'd been sittin' there
And crying over some sad and silly late late show

And honey i miss you and i'm being good
And i'd love to be with you if only i could
She wrecked the car and she was sad
And so afraid that i'd be mad but what the heck

Though i pretended hard to be guess
You could say she saw through me and hugged my neck
I came home unexpectedly and found her crying
Needlessly in the middle of the day

And it was in the early spring when flowers bloom
And robins sing she went away
And honey i miss you and i'm being good
And i'd love to be with you if only i could
One day while i was not at home
And she was there and all alone the angels came

Now all i have is memories of honey
And i wake up nights and call her name
Now my life's an empty stage where honey lived
And honey played and love grew up

A small cloud passes overhead
And cries down on the flower bed where honey loved
See the tree, how big it's grown
But friend it hasn't been too long it wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got mad the first day
That she planted it was just a twig
